A little after noon today, near Carey (east of Findlay) there were about 45 Sandhill Cranes coming in to land in a field just north of highway 15. Allen T.

I was in the parking lot of Oakwoods Nature Preserve, which is immediately SW of Findlay, which itself is in the middle of Hancock County. The birds were flying in 2 "V's" of roughly equal size. They were about 100 feet up and flying in a SSE direction.
